Medical Device Risk Management
Requirements
The medical device industry is highly regulated and based upon a device specific risk rating for dealing with the level of regulation to be applied prior to market acceptance
All modern medical device regulations cite ISO14971:2007 as being the standard to apply for medical devices
Global Harmonisation requirements
GHTF safety and performance requirements require risk management to be used as a basis of identifying, evaluating, controlling and continuously monitoring the effectiveness of risk controls.

Does it mean anything to me as adrug manufacturer If you have a drug delivered by means
of a combination product then you are required to ensure that the device meets all safety and performance criteria of medical device regulations. As a result you are required to ensure that devices for drug-device combinations are being designed, manufactured, supplied and used in a way that all risks are controlled and the risks are outweighed by the clinical benefit.

Risk management process
12
Example
A new product development project is initiated. The process requires a plan, defines the information sources and identifies how clinical benefit will be derived from customers.
Risk reviews, tools and methods are all defined including the forms, procedures and records required
A Final report is written defining residual risks, controls and clinical benefit
Risk management process
13
Example
A change in Valve supplier is proposed for the MDI.
The process defines what will happen, how the change is categorised based upon importance and defines the level of process risk management, controls and reviews necessary.
Risk reviews, tools and methods are all defined including the forms, procedures and records required

TipsEnsure that you are focussed on the current state of the art with relation to drug - device performance
Ensure that you are able to define hazardous situations based upon the major associated failures
Be aware that the level of acceptability will be based around your critical to safety and quality requirements. The final clinical harm will be required so that contract design suppliers and manufacturers are aware of the severity of failure.

Lifecycle phases
If a drug manufacturer uses a device they must develop risk management plans that will ensure all elements of risk are covered from design through to manufacture

Tip
Ensure that there are regular reports relating to the design progress but ensure that risks identified and their references are reported within the phase as this concentrates the minds of the people undertaking the design project
